Famed boxer Ryan Garcia caused a major upset in the boxing world when he defeated previously undefeated fighter Devin Haney on April 20. However, his victory was marred by a failed drug test. Now, he is being challenged by Logan Paul.
The shock and awe felt by the boxing community was not long-lasting, as Garcia was found to have failed two drug tests. The first test came the day before his fight with Haney, with a second positive result on the day of the match.
Despite one test for 19-Norandrosterone, which would ultimately exonerate him, further testing revealed that Garcia had tested positive for Ostarine in both his A and B samples.
According to the boxing commission, any trace amount of Ostarine would result in a failed test due to a zero-tolerance policy.
After learning about the confirmed B-sample, Logan Paul, the current WWE United States champion, proceeded to mock Garcia.

Following a long history of public feuds between the two, including Ryan making numerous jabs at Logan’s Prime hydration company, the recent incident of Paul roasting Garcia is not surprising.
Paul’s comments about Prime prompted him to retaliate with his own attacks on Garcia in recent weeks. The most significant incident was when he taunted Garcia, known as ‘King Ry’, for being knocked out by Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in April of last year.
On the most recent installment of BS w/ Jake Paul, Garcia clarified the reason behind his strained relationship with ‘The Maverick’. Surprisingly, the Victorville native kept his explanation brief and concise.
“Garcia expressed, ‘I’m not fond of him. His vibe just doesn’t sit well with me.’”
The decision regarding Garcia’s future now rests with the boxing commission as the 25-year-old is potentially facing a long suspension due to the confirmation of his B-sample, which matched the positive A-test.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Garcia’s boxing career, his social media feed does not reflect any signs of worry. In fact, he recently shared a video of himself getting a pedicure, appearing completely unfazed and carefree.

After the aftermath, Garcia ultimately deleted his string of posts. However, the video remains online as several boxing accounts have clipped it.
After the recent discoveries, this peculiar situation is coming to a conclusion. According to boxing expert Dan Rafael, a resolution regarding Garcia’s future is expected to be made sometime this summer.
